This study's purpose was to learn about the experiences of professionals from American nonprofit organizations working in Kenya, incorporating recovery-oriented services for children with physical disabilities. Human service professionals associated with international nonprofit organizations make significant contributions providing health-related services unavailable in developing nations. However, research from the perspective of these practitioners regarding implementing these services in cross-cultural environments is limited. A generic qualitative research methodology was used to explore ten nonprofit professionals' experiences with American-based nonprofit organizations delivering recovery-oriented services to children with physical disabilities in Kenya. The ten participants were drawn from a larger population of human service professionals associated with faith-based nonprofits and identified with the Christian faith. This religious identification was not a requirement of the study, nor was recruitment limited to any spiritual association. Individual unstructured interviews were conducted and analyzed through inductive thematic analysis. The themes developed through this process included the belief that education was an essential principle for everyone involved in implementing recovery-oriented services and a need to remedy the deficiencies related to adequate school and teacher supplies, understanding the complexities involving breakdowns in the family unit and how those needs are replaced within the Kenyan culture, a need for nonprofit professionals' training in relational-cultural theory as it applies to cross-cultural work in Kenya, and the implications of stigma on the implementation of recovery-oriented services. Findings from this study suggest that nonprofit professionals should receive suitable training related to the cultural environments surrounding areas related to effective recovery-oriented care delivery. Findings also suggested that relational-cultural framework's practical implications in reaching across social and cultural divides may help ease stressors put on service professionals as they attempted to help those in need from a different background. Future research examining changes made to Kenyan professionals' educational and health services due to American-based nonprofit professionals' influence would increase understanding of the benefit of these nonprofit organizations' work.
